Default New Here, Driveshaft ?s

Hello my name is Paul and i have myself a 2002 4.8 Silverado Standard cab long bed and I've done a few mods and im currently sitting at about 320rwhp but the truck doesnt like 320 rwhp. Truck is an automatic 4L60e and I missed a little bit a of research before i put it on the Dyno and when the tuner kicked up the rev limiter he got the truck to about 120 mph and the driveshaft ( stock aluminum ) snapped in half because of the RPMs the driveshaft couldnt hold up. Im currently researching a new driveshaft and was wondering if anyone had exact measurements for a 2002 Standard Cab, 4l60e, Long bed Driveshaft? it could save me a good amount of work if anyone could help! Sorry for the block of text guys!

Your best bet is to measure your truck for a driveshaft rather then go off others length. Most driveshaft companies sites will list how to measure.

Alright I had a feeling I'd be best just to measure myself. Just hoping to get around it. I'm pretty positive im looking at 72" but I'll measure for sure. When the driveshaft of the truck went out it took the tail housing of the transmission out. So I need to put the new tranny in before I can get measurements. Stall converter is being sent in to be cut and cleaned so I was hoping to avoid putting a tranny in to take it back out.
